On Wednesday, after Pres Obama got elected the first time, I bought 60K of primers for $17 per thousand with HazMat fee. I learned a lesson from Mr Clinton. Over the last 7 years, when I find $20 per thousand primers sitting on gun show tables, I buy them all. So far I've only needed to buy small rifle primers.

Pick one:
1. Learning from past experience.

2. Planning ahead.

Two weeks after primer purchase, I bought 60# of powder for about $19 per pound.
